With Christmas and New Year over, the months ahead can seem a grind of grey skies and cold winds. So we’d love to hear about ways you’ve escaped the British winter – without spending a fortune.

You may have basked in January heat in the Canaries or southern Med, soaked up souks in north Africa, or snagged a bargain flight to a balmy destination in Asia. We’re looking for budget breaks, so that probably excludes the Caribbean and South America. Tell us about that great beach, cheap restaurant or cute guesthouse you enjoyed – being specific about location, prices and websites where possible, and try to keep your tip to 100 words.

The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website and may also appear in print in Guardian Travel. The winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide.
